Affect – Brother's epilepsy (BroAE) is a form of epilepsy that is characterized by sudden attacks of seizures accompanied by changes in a person's mood and behavior. This disease can affect both children and adults and occurs in various populations.
Brother's epileptic seizure can be caused by various factors, such as stressful situations, emotions and even physical exertion. Symptoms of affect include muscle cramps, behavioral and emotional changes, rapid heartbeat, sweating, and involuntary movements of the eyes and hands. During an attack, a person may lose consciousness and remain unconscious for several minutes or even hours.
Brother's treatment for affective-epileptic seizures includes drug therapy, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy and physical rehabilitation. Seizures can be significantly reduced using a combination of different treatments.
One of the most well-known forms of epilepsy is fraternal affective epilepsy (BroAE). BroAE is the onset of suicidal ideation in an adolescent or young adult, usually associated with the onset of a medical condition. People with this form of epilepsy may experience uncontrollable suicidal thoughts when they are in a certain state, such as after using alcohol or drugs.
Fraternal epilepsy can lead to depression, anxiety and irritability, which can cause serious damage to the patient's personality. This form of epilepsy can also affect occupational activities and social interactions. Therefore, Brother's treatment for affective epilepsy should include psychiatric care, pharmacological treatment and psychological counseling. For these patients, it is important to get help from health care professionals to cope with the depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts that are often associated with the disease.
